Gekko Moria, who was far away in the room at the top of the Ghost Castle, looked down in confusion, but the usual dark environment prevented him from seeing more abnormalities.
He turned around and went back to his work.
"Kishishishi~ These captives are of really good quality! We can make a large batch of high-quality zombies. Kaido! Just wait, I will launch the ultimate revenge on you in the near future!"
Back to James, after screaming, Perona immediately rushed towards her original body and her ghostly form went into it.
The moment she woke up, she struggled to move her petite body and broke free from James's arms.
"Big pervert! Stinky pervert! Damn weird guy!!!"
With a howl, she fell onto James, her little fists stiking against his chest like sponge, neither too heavy nor annoying.
"Hey, hey! Don't slander me! I haven't done anything to you yet!"
James smiled as he endured Perona's spoiled punches. Was this a punishment or a reward for him? Perhaps only he knew.
Perona didn't care about his explanation and kept punching. Seeing that James didn't resist at all and even seemed to enjoy it, she became even more furious.
So, she opened her mouth viciously and bit James's shoulder, then put her palm against his body and shot him at close range:
"Negative Ghost!"
The Negative Ghost easily passed through James's body, but a hint of surprise flashed in Perona's eyes. Why did it feel like it had touched nothing...
At this time, James collapsed on the princess's bed with a look of shame on his face, and spoke words of irredeemable depravity in a tone full of regret.
"I'm so sorry, my dear Perona. I'm such a proud guy, but I seem to be hopelessly in love with you. I want to keep you by my side, and watch the sunrise with me every day..."
Of course, he was not influenced by Perona's negative ghost. His Haki prevented his soul in advance and stuck to the negative ghost to avoid her ability.
He said these words just to play a little game of poking at Perona's feelings.
As expected, after hearing James's words, Perona opened her eyes wide in disbelief, raised her hand to cover her mouth, and trembled on him and whispered:
"Really...really? But...this is just the first time we've met..."
James put away his regretful expression, returned to normal, chuckled, and picked up her petite body.
"You will know the truth later. You are Gekko Moria's subordinate, and he has captured my men."
"I should have taken his life without mercy, but your cute appearance made me change my mind."
"If you are willing to leave with me and become my Wife, I can spare Moria's life..."
"One life for another, this is the pact I promise you, Do you agree?"
"You..." Perona held James's shoulders and straightened up, shouting in her heart: Give me back my gratitude!
"You can't possibly defeat Lord Moria! He's invincible!"
"Oh? It seems that you have no idea about who the real strong man is~" James said as he carried her towards the door.
"Next, I'm going to capture Moria and bring him down hard, leaving him injured. Then, you'll see what it means to be truly strong!"
"When the time comes, you must agree to the contract I give you. Otherwise, he will just die."
"You... Humph! You should go to Lord Moria first!"
Perona pouted in dissatisfaction. She sensed that her mind was somewhat muddled, and she even forgot to push back against James and escape his grasp.
"Okay!" James nodded and was about to leave when he was attracted by the bounty poster in the hand of the fat bear doll. He raised his hand and looked carefully, and found that it was his own bounty order.
"Eh? Is that my bounty poster?"
"Ah?" Perona's face flushed. She grabbed the bounty warrant with one hand, folded it several times, and put it into her small purse. Then she lowered her head, pursed her lips and said nothing.
James patted her head, stopped asking questions, and continued walking outside.
After walking for a while, Perona finally realized that something was wrong and forgot to escape. So she began to twist her body violently, resisting James's arms that were holding her.
James finally couldn't resist Perona's struggle and let go of her delicate body.
After walking up with her for a while, James heard the footsteps of Brook, Shura and Gedatsu from below.
"Yo ho ho ho~" Brooke's with his bone of a body moved fast, and he rushed to James's side in a couple of steps.
"God James, I have found my shadow again. Finally I got my freedom back."
"Well, your efficiency is pretty good."
"God, this is Shimotsuki Ryoma's sword, the famous Shusui, one of the twenty-one great swords. Please accept it."
After Shura finished explaining, he held out Shusui with both hands.
Seeing this, James raised his hand and it flew to him. Then lightning flashed and a crackling sound was heard. Shusui was baptized by his strong electric current and was easily disinfected.
"Shusui's is a sword with a large reverse-shaped T-shaped blade. The sword is black and purple with a red serrated pattern. According to legend, it is also a national treasure of Wano Country in the New World." Brook added.
"Not bad, not bad, Shusui's appearance is indeed worthy of entering my collection room." After admiring it for a few times, James activated the power of the door-door fruit, opened a Dimension gate to the side, and sent it to the storage room.
"Ah!" Perona's jaw dropped. She circled around James, tugging at his clothes from time to time.
"Where's the sword? Where's the sword? Why did it disappear?"
Brook also opened his bony mouth wide, and he wondered in his heart: Could it be that James is actually a user of some kind of mythical Zoan fruit ability?
"Haha, our God-sama is omnipotent. You don't even know this, do you?"
Shura and Gedatsu saw Brook and Perona's surprised expressions and mocked them mercilessly.
The two of them, no, everyone on Sky Islands worships James mindlessly. They firmly believe that God James, who brings them a better life, is the real God!
James did not explain. He raised his hand to control Perona who was constantly exploring his body and continued to walk towards the upper level of the ghost castle.
"Let's go, it's time to deal with Gekko Moriah."
Shura and Gedatsu took the lead to clear the way for James. Brook scratched his afro and followed.
After passing through the spiral staircase and a long corridor, they arrived at an open area.
The place was littered with fragments of killed zombies, scattered here and there, and it was very distrurbing sight.
He really don't know how the sweet and soft Perona can endure living among these ugly zombies.
`Could it be that she had some unknown quirk that made her find these zombies cute?´ James really didn't know.
